The Student Charter

As a UOW student you are part of a vibrant academic, social, and international community. From your first day, you will discover opportunity and potential. To connect you with campus life, we’ve established your Student Charter.

The Charter outlines a partnership; it defines what we expect from you, and what you can expect from us. You will engage and collaborate, respectfully and responsibly, and revel in the diversity of our global campus. In turn, we will deliver a world class education, and experiences that open a world of opportunity.
